[FAQ] Should the Fusion Digital Power Designer GUI be used?

Definitely.

The Fusion Digital Power Designer GUI serves three major functions:


1. Assist you to configure the device with a graphic interface so that you do not have to learn the PMBus
commands
2. Generate configuration files and scripts for manufacturing
3. Assist you to monitor and debug prototype boards

In the Fusion GUI, by hovering the mouse on a configuration field, the Tips & Hints window explains the
associated PMBus command and device behavior.

Even if you decide to develop their own PMBus host, the Fusion GUI is a valuable tool. This GUI can
show you how a particular task is done through PMBus commands so that you do not have to dig into the
documents.

Also, it has a PMBus Logging feature, which generates a text file to record all background communication
activities between the Fusion GUI and the device. You can use the log to learn how to develop own
PMBus host.

The Fusion GUI also comes with the SMBus and SAA Tool (low-level PMBus communication GUI) to help
you debug communication problem, as well as the Device/Project Configuration Compare tool to help you
see the differences among several configuration files.
